Nicola Lopez

Guggenheim Museum, New York

Intervals. As part of the Guggenheim's ongoing Intervals series, New York-based artist Nicola Lopez will create the site-specific work Landscape X, a sculptural collage environment in the rotunda. Intervals is designed to reflect the spirit of today's most innovative practices. Conceived to take place in the interstices of the museum's exhibition spaces, in individual galleries, or beyond the physical confines of the building, the program invites a diverse range of practitioners to create new work. Lopez will utilize three levels of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed rotunda between the exhibitions Lee Ufan: Marking Infinity and Maurizio Cattelan: All. Taking the construction site as a point of departure, Lopez appropriates elements of urban infrastructure from chain-link fencing to orange mesh barriers to lane markers for her graphic intervention in the space. In Landscape X, the exterior floods the interior, the grid invades the spiral, and order is distorted. Using various printing, painting, and collage methods, the vocabulary of forms will periodically appear on available surfaces along the scrim, floor, wall, and ceiling. The work heightens the viewer's awareness of the existing architecture and the sense of immanent activity on the other side of scrim. Organized by Helen Hsu, assistant curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
